By combining Planar’s exclusive Extended Ruggedness and Optics Technology (ERO) with Gorilla Glass, an industry-leading cover solution, the 84-inch 4K Planar UltraRes Touch
is durable and scratch resistant, making it ideal for digital signage
and public venue applications. Planar UltraRes Touch now also supports
up to 32 simultaneous touch points, offering the ultimate solution for
multi-user applications, including collaboration walls and touch tables.

"The addition of Corning Gorilla Glass to our proprietary ERO optical
bonding technology further enhances the durability and visual
performance of the Planar UltraRes Touch display," said Becky Connors,
product marketing manager at Planar Systems. "By dramatically increasing
the number of touch points, we’ve made it possible for organizations to
create highly immersive and engaging experiences."

With Planar's ERO technology, Corning Gorilla Glass is optically
bonded to the LCD cell using a proprietary process unique to Planar,
providing exceptional durability and performance. The ERO process keeps
out dust and moisture and improves image contrast by eliminating the air
gap between the display and the glass. Gorilla Glass is more than four
times stronger than tempered soda-lime glass, which enables a
substantially-thinner design,and
it better resists scratches that can cause the glass to break. Due to
the Gorilla Glass’ thinness, parallax and the resulting touch errors are
reduced, weight is decreased, while touch sensitivity and display
responsiveness are improved.

"We are thrilled for the launch of Planar’s 84-inch UltraRes Touch
featuring the world’s largest piece of Gorilla Glass," said David
Loeber, business director for Large Cover Glass at Corning Incorporated.
"Planar’s expertise in commercial signage hardware and optical bonding
paired with Corning’s expertise in advanced glass solutions yields an
innovative product and a great opportunity for collaboration."

Designed for Style and Function

Planar UltraRes Touch offers a sleek design with an attractive,
narrow bezel of just 1.3 inches, providing an elegant backdrop for
stunning ultra-high resolution content. It has a mounted depth of only
3.6 inches, making it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) for protruding objects in public environments. The display
supports both landscape and portrait orientation, and a logo-free bezel
makes it equally practical to use the display in either mode.

With a native 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160, Planar UltraRes Touch
provides four times the resolution of a full HD display for advanced
clarity—even at short viewing distances for touch users. And with
optically-clear Gorilla Glass, every detail is displayed with
outstanding color rendition, contrast, and resolution.

Planar UltraRes Touch displays come standard with Planar MediaPlex™
software, which allows up to eight directly attached sources to be
viewed, four at a time, in 42-inch diagonal full HD quadrants. Upon
command, any of the quadrants can be upscaled to fill the entire 4K
display area. Available only from Planar, this feature provides a unique
way to display both touch and non-touch content on the same display.

Planar UltraRes Touch displays featuring Corning Gorilla Glass and 32
touch points will be available through Planar’s global network of
authorized resellers in the second calendar quarter of 2014. Visit Booth
#405 at the Digital Signage Expo 2014 to learn more about the Planar
UltraRes Touch and to see a demonstration.
